Hello ,

I just bought a chrome one for $80,- I use it on a tm42 mamiya for 
portraits only. It makes very nice soft portraits at full aperture. 
The plane of focus is sharp enough and also the contrast is not bad 
at all. The curvature od field seems to be quit sever, but for 
portraits that is no problem.
